legislative notes
The .'enr.te mnde flurt work of thf
bill doing away wi'h the non-partisan
'lal'ot. On'v eight m nutes was re
quired to kill it.
The anti-picket ng bill wa one of
'.he hardest fought measures in the
house. It had only two votes moie
lhan was necessary for passage.
The senate passed the farm bureau
ced bill after amending it so farmers
an sell seeds in certain (uantities.
This bill now goes to the governor.
An attempt was made in the house
to revive the Cronin bonding bill but
it fnilel. Such a law as this will un
doubtedly be passed sooner or later.
Speaker Anderson was presented
with a handsome go'd headed cane by
'he memlers of the house and Mrs.
Anderson was given a big fern and a
box of candy.
In spite of the fact that both houses
are anxious to finish their work and
go home the practice still continues
of wasting lots of oratory upon the
desert air at every opportunity.
The senate committee on revenue
and taxation has its back up because
of alleged misrepresentations of the
new revenue bill and proposes to
make detractors of the bill come in
and prove their statements. '
After hearing the report of the com
mittee that was appointed to investi
gate rents in Omaha the house decided
that it is not necessary to take any
further action. The committee found
no evidence of profiteering.
Five thousand dollars a year Is getf
ting to be the fashionable salary for
Nebraska officials. This is the amount
fixed for the clerk of the supreme
court. The house also agreed to fix
the salary of the supreme court re
porter a( $4,000 a year after once
cutting It to $3,000.
The bill uniting Douglas and Sarpy
counties was amended so the new
county would be known as Sarpy in
stead of Douglas and was then killed.
When it came to a show down neither
county seemed anxious for a union.
The senate is evidently in no hurry
about quitting. A motion to appoint
a committee to confer with a house
committee on the question of adjourn
ment was voted down. It is hoped
that the business can be wound up
by the end of next week but there is
no certainty thnt such will be the case.
The house passed the Omaha char
ter bill without spending any time in
discussion. This is the largest b '! in
point of size that was submitted i he
opinion seemed to be that if Oit.ha
wants this bill it should have it and
that no time should be spent in argu
ment. The Fenate had already passed
the bill.
The state chamber of cornmerce is
making an active fight against the
taxation bill because it authorizes the
tax commissioner to reassess property.
It is said this feature would result in
making county and local assessors
mere figureheads. This bill is going
to have active opposition in the house
from other sources.
Germany. He says mo.-'t Aiueikaiis
of German bir!h want such a taw.
Some strong statements were made in
the course of the debate which cou'd
not have b"en rnjoye.l very much by
ho-e who h;ive been lobbying for the
jiasaye of the bill.
The house passed the grain growers'
waiel ouse bill with only one dissent
ng vote. This bill which provides for
kvarehou es on the farm and the issu
ance of certificates against such grain.
A fee of $5 must he paid to an in
spector before certificates can be is
sued. It is believed that this bill will
be a benefit to farmers by making it
possib'e for them to hold their grain
and equalize the supply that goes tc
market. The bill is now ready for the
governor.
The house made short work of the
anti-cigaret bill last Thursday eve
ning. The intention was to dispose of
it in short order but a few supporters
of the bill wanted to air their views
ami two or three made short talks
against it. The bill was killed by a
vote of about 2 to 1. If there was any
public sentiment in favor of such a bill
a different story might be told bu
most of the members were convinced
that the enactment of such a law
would be adding only ho much dead
timber to the statutes.
The senate child welfare committee
killed the senate movie bill and re
ported the house bill for consideration.
Senator Beebe has a substitute bill
which he is going to try to get passed
in place of the house bill. Senator
Beebe's bill gives a list of pictures
that may not be shown and requires
each exhibitor and distributor to de
posit $1,000 with the state treasurer.
If he is convicted of violating the law
he forfeits, the money. Jf not, he
may get his money back in thirty
days after he sells out or quits busi
ness but it must remain on deposit as
long as he is in business.
The liouse also passed the substitute
water power bill without discussion in
spite of the fact that R. B. Howell,
who was backing the original bill,
asked that it be killed if any changes
were made in it. The substitute con
tains some radical departures from the
Howell ideas but ine committee
thought the changes desirable.
Governor McKelvie sent a message
to the senate asking the passage of a
bill rllowing the state banking depart
ment of trade and convntrci to act
a receiver for failed bank:5. The pur
pose t.f this bill is to keep such I anks
under the supervision of this depart
ment instead of turning them over en
tirely to the courts. It will also pave
expense.
The senate took favortble action
Thursday ort S. F. 240. which i the
snmo n-i li.-imc Vol I 1 uliic'.i was killed
by the house early in the session. The
vote in the house was o to 3-. I here
is no reason to think that the decision
will Ik? changed when the hoiis rrets
another crak at it. This is the bill
that gives the Omaha water board the
right to go into the electri; lighting
business.

Governor McKelvie
Issues the Annual
Arbor Day Proclamation
Governor S. R. McKelvie, in bis Ar
Iwr day proclamation issued Wednes
day, appeals to Nebraskans of all ages
to renew the diligence of the early
settlers by planting trees on April .22.
Governor McKelvie calls attention to
the fact that Nebraska was the first
state in the union to observe Arbor
day, and reminds the citizens that in
the early days the settlers planted
thousands of trees each year that the
territory might not seem such an
endless stretch of prairie.
School teachers of the state and
superintendents of all institutions are
urged to "present to the attention of
the pupils the propriety of doing some
thing to encourage the growth of tim
ber about the home."
The proclamation follows:
"Trees have been regarded as things
of beauty in all the ages of the past.
When God made the Garden of Eden,
the first things he planted in it were
trees. He made them that they might
be good for food and please the eye,
and when John the Divine described
the Holy City and the River of Life,
he tells us there were trees on either
side of it.
"The first settlers of the territory of
Nebraska saw an aWnost endless
stretch of prairie, and in order to
break the monotony, tree planting be
came a necessity. The first groves
were started along the Missouri river
and planting them on homesteads and
farms of the west Thus, groves
sprang up in every direction. Many
of the trees from those sprouts fur
nished wood during the late coal
famine while the world war was upon
us.

A call of the house as necessary
last Thursday morning to secure ihe
passage of the Christian Science bill.
Considerable discussion v? caused by
this bill. The bill has passed the seu
ate and is now up to the governor. It
legalizes rhe practice of Christian Sci
ence and makes the work of the prac
titioners easier but dos not exempt
them from observing quarantine laws
and regulations.
The state prison now contains fo5
prisoners, the largest in the hUtory of
that institution and about a third more
than it is intended to accommodate,
Warden Fenton has served notice on
sheriffs that they cannot bring i.ny
more prisoners to the pen until some
of those now there are discharged. The
crowded condition is due to the wave
of crime and to the suspension of
paroles.
When the dead line fell Monday at
2 o'clock on all bills yet in the hands
of the sifting committee 71 were left
out in the cold. Among them is the
press association bill requiring the
publication of the personal tax roll
und the Green bill regarding political
advertising. Newspaper men and
printers will not object to the killing
of the latter. A number of other good
bills were killed. Only seven Lills
were reported out by the sifters. ,
After a four-hour debate the house
committee of the whole advanced the
language bill to third reading. The
vpte was 0.3 to 31. The' chief feature
of the debate was 'the strong stand
taken for the biU by Dr. Hoffmeister,

"Although Arbor day had its birth
in Nebraska, it is now generally ob
served throughout the republic even
in those states where native timber
abounds.
"The tree that you plant today, tak
en care of. will grow and flourish as a
monument to your care and industry.
Trees shelter man and beast from the
heat of summer and winds of winter.
The evening zephyrs that filter
through the leaves carry health and
strength to every man, to everything
that breathes. On them birds build
their nests and rear their young, and
from the topmost branches they sing,
their reveilles awakening the husband
man to his daily toil and sends him
forth with joy to cultivate the soil.
"It is feared by some that we are ,
not making as much of the day as we ,
should. If this be true, let us renew j
our diligence. Let everyone who is
old enough plant one or more trees. I
